Oh dear. A split.

Yes, and if she'd stuck to the cute puppy all would have been well. But Alas she discussed other matters. To the horror of passing vicars and small children. If a man had said similar things in the same (even, not raised) tone of voice he may well have been criticised, but he would have been less likely to be described as ranting.

Oh for goodness sake, how many more times.

There is no hive mind. No group think. Just a lot of diverse people with diverse opinions who can actually cope with not being agreed with and having different ideas. And who believe reality is a thing. In their various diverse ways.

There is no 'split' because that would mean there was some kind of team or group or unity or catechism of belief. There is not. There really is not. This is really odd thinking, that's based on having to stuff everyone in boxes at all times to be able to cope, and it's not healthy.

Findwen, you make a good point.

I don't like the way the word "ranting" every time a woman expresses an opinion which isn't about fluffy kittens. Regardless (shockingly) of whether or not I agree with said opinions or not

This is a common failing on the internet.

Most people on here are not fans of Pretti Patel, but I am sure most people are fans of her policy that crimes are recorded by the sex of the offender.

It's like the big 'gotcha' that Donald Trump Jr retweeted JKRs excellent piece the other day... it really isn't a 'gotcha'. There is overlap between all sorts of walks of life - doesn't mean I with agree because of odious person agrees with and we both also happen to agree on .

It's just a very juvenile way of thinking. It's not about one person, it's about safety of all women.

Yes, the domesticated zombies comment.

You can see why Posie went all out at her

Not quite going as planned, OP?

The women speaking up for women's rights are a really broad church. That's a strength, not a weakness.

I'd be more concerned if we all parroted the same mantras and condemned those who didn't comply. But that's the modus operandi of the TRAs, isn't it?

Good to see OP, that you're keeping up with the wonderful range of different intelligent women, all discussing our varied views on matters relating to women's rights.
Evidently the fact that women have a variety of nuanced views is a real education for you.

Some people don't get on. Big whoop.

Is it in response to this twitter.com/ruthserwotka/status/1471437872813293569

I hate to break it to you OP, but women are not one hive mind. They are individual people with, careful now, their own opinions and everything

I know right.

You enjoyed posting that, didn’t you. Can’t have a split in something that doesn’t exist. We are not one movement. We are many different people from different walks of life, different political parties and with different life experiences. Some of what we each care about overlaps.

Hope that helps.

A split?

Posie has always been non feminist. Very clear about it too. Just as she was very clear who she was talking in that video.

Doesn't mean she is not for women's rights, clearly!

So no. No split. Just Posie doing what Posie does. And I don't expect to agree with her on everything, why would anyone?
